Fr Benjamin's homily for March 29th

Wheat must die, so must I

Wheat only gives grain if it is buried and "dies." Jesus uses this example to describe why he is going to have to undergo death. Christ prays for God to save him from death, and God does save him from death, but not from having to die. We pray for deliverance from death and suffering, yet so often God lets us suffer and lets us die in many ways. He saves us from death, but not from having to die, because these sacrifices are necessary if we are to have life and bring life to others.
